St. Martin is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Bruckberg ( Deanery Ansbach ) named after St. Martin of Tours .

Parish

The village had a castle chapel in the early modern period , which burned down in 1793 when lightning struck. The current church was built in 1934/35 as an institution church for the residents of the Bruckberg homes for the disabled. The Evangelical Lutheran residents of Bruckberg were originally parish to St. Maria (Großhaslach) and only later belonged to the parish of St. Martin. Since 1981 the parish with its suburbs Reckersdorf and Neubruck belongs to the parish of St. Martin (Kleinhaslach) . It currently has around 1000 parishioners.

Church building

The church is located immediately south of the Bruckberg Castle . It was built according to plans by the Nuremberg architect Christian Ruck . Ruck based his design on the aesthetic and normative principles for a contemporary church building, as developed by the architect German Bestelmeyer . The church was inaugurated on September 8, 1935. The church tower with onion dome is located in the south-west and, like the pointed-roofed nave with apse in the east, is in a simple Romanized style. The arched portal is in the west, in the north and west it has three arched windows each. The flat-roofed hall building is single-nave and has a south pore and an organ gallery in the west. The high altar with crucifix is ​​in the apse, on the left in front of it is the rock-like pulpit with a polygonal sound cover, on the right in front of it the baptismal font.

organ

organ

The organ of St. Martin's Church dates back to 1935 and was used as Opus 1594 by the company GF Steinmeyer & Co. built. It has a pneumatic stop and game action and has 33 stops on three manuals and pedal , 27 of which are sounding; the transmissions from the main work to the pedal are marked (Tn). The gaming table is electric and can be moved freely on the gallery. This enabled the main and pedal work on the south wall of the church and the swell on the north wall of the church to be set up and separated spatially and acoustically.
